“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

I believe in this!!!
We are committed to supporting reading for everyone in our community.
We need all races, all colors, all ethnic/cultural backgrounds to understand and respect each other’s diversities
Reading books about other people and cultures broadens understanding and builds communities
In a time when books are being banned and taken off shelves in schools, I want to be a resource for my community where everyone can see themselves or their story inside a book.
I believe diversity makes us richer.
Our LFL is in a very diverse neighborhood. It is extremely rewarding to see/hear children reading to (and teaching) their parents English!
